When his nightmares rock the household, it is the horses Hannah turns to for comfort. Hannah believes the worst is over when her dad returns from war, but soon she realizes her family's fight is only just beginning.
There she helps bring a rescued mare back from the brink, takes her first riding lesson, and witnesses the birth of the filly who steals her heart. After her dad is called to fight in Iraq, she regularly stops to watch the horses at the nearby stable to feel closer to him, and finally gathers the nerve to ask the owner for a job. The stories Hannah Gale's father told her of breaking wild horses in Nevada one glorious summer when he was her age have captured her imagination. "There's nothing so good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse."-old English proverb
